General Fi

I will be building a box for 2 18" BTLs in a Tahoe. The subs will point up of course, but what about the port. Should I port up or back? I am not to sure as this is my first build for an SUV. I have heard back before, but have seen some greats like Meade do both and am unsure myself. Lastly, do you think this setup will hit real hard. Lookin for some pretty high numbers, as is everyone probably is though.

How much is the BL 15 Plus shipping to alaska maybe someone could help me out

Which would be the better choice? Looking for very loud. Listen to mainly rap. Going in a ported box in my trunk tuned to 32hz. Running off of 2x saz-1500d's. ps. The 15 would have to be done sub up port back due to 13.5" of hight available. thanks =]

ok I've decided to go with 2 SSd, 10's running off a rockford t10001bd so will the dual 1 ohm subs run at 1 ohm brigged?

Ok, i will probably be running 2 bls off of a sundown 3k. Not sure if i wanna do 2 15's and keep them straight upright firing through my blowthrough or have 2 18's slightly angled firing through it. What i am curious about, is there really an audible difference between the size of these two woofers if they are running the same power. I know the 18's will probably score higher in comps, but i doubt i will ever compete, so no point in getting less than a db more and losing that much more of the bed of my truck.

Hey I need to buy 2 bl 18's... and was wondering how long the wait is and also how I can get in touch with you guys. Thanks

Hi next week i'm starting my build in my trunk with a box for 2 12" SSD hooked to a zx2500.1 The box will be roughly 4.2 cube ft after displacement tuned to 33hz. I have a few questions will I need to brace the inside of the box? How can I brace it? any input is appreciated thx

on the fi site under 15 they dont give a sealed box size. do these subs worked in sealed enclosures? i'd like to get a FI rep to give a recomended box size

Hi I have been looking around at this Forum and now I find myself checking it each time im online. I've been looking at the Fi subs(very impressed btw) and im now very interested in a fully loaded 18" BTL. Now if i were to run a Hifonics BXi 2607D would I need to get the dual2ohm BTL? and wire it in parallel? Also what upgrades would I be looking at in my electrical system? (new alt, a few batterys) I plan on taking out a backseat in my Ford Fusion for the BTL. Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks and merry "late" Chrismas!

i have a brahma mark II and i want a re-cone...possibly an 18 can it be done? i tied posting before and got no reply so i am trying again... it's not a for sure thing i want an 18, just wondering can it be done and still retain good sound quality and bottom end while still being able to get loud?

Hey whats up fellow members...not really liking my setup need more power but my question is would 2 audioque 2200d amp be better for my FI 18 btl fully loaded...I have 2 USamps MD-3d right now running on ea..have the big 3 done all 0 gauge wire 5 optima batteries 300 amp HO alt voltage is running from 14.5 to 13.8 on certain songs dont get me wrong its loud just not enough so which amps are better if i left anything out let me know thanks in advance...

With Just 2 12'' Q's No bp option in a ported box tuned to 32hz, with 2 pdx 600.1 amps i hit 149.5 dbs at 48 hz yesterday, a coulpe more points and ill be right where i wanna be.. thanks scott and nick for the box reccomendations, scott told me it would be loud..

i have a maximum of 42" wide x 12" high x 19.25" deep i can use keeping everything else stock. The amps will be mounted on top of the box but an extra Kinetik battery in the back WILL take up some of this box room. After some calculations, i came up with 2.8-3.0cuft NET after displacements for the 2 following setups- 3 10" Fi Qs SEALED off of 4,000w or... 2 10" Fi BLs PORTED at 34hz off of 3,000w I wish i could do 12s but i do not think subs and port up would sound good. PS- i dont have room to do 12s unless i aim them up and can only do them if i port up as well...i have no boxes to test how that would sound either...)

OK so the other day I was showing off my BTL to some friends. Gain is set correctly with dmm, and about 10 seconds in to a song the sub makes a weird noise and then freezes. Well I am thinking I fried the sub and Ill need a recone kit, which made me upset to start with because I only gave it like 2400wrms. Well I take the sub out of the box and what do i find? Not a burnt coil. But a broken magnet on the motor. The magnet is litterally cracked and pushed in and caused the coil to scratch and get stuck. What would cause this? And how can I get it fixed. This sub was never abused.

I have a UFO style 18" BTL in the trunk of my vic, and I want to order the 12" Fi sticker, but I need to know if the adhesive is on the front side of the sticker or the back, because I have dark tint and want to put it on the outside of the window so it shows up well. So is the adhesive on the sticker face or will I be able to place it on the outside of my car?

Im thinking about getting a 18" BTL N2 and was wondering how much shipping costs. ~thanks

Hi, I have a FI 15 Q that needs to be rebuilt or re-coned because one of the voice coils is burned up. I am wanting to know if I sent the speaker in can they rebuild it as a BL or BTL, and how much would it cost?

just a little somethin i filmed today.....thats Teak pokin his head in and making that comment so i figured it made a good title c-j924SyQTg oh the cleaner version which will be on my site and also probably on youtube (hi res) later, you can see the skin on my right forearm wrinkling to the beat.......right now you cant see it very good at low res though

Just wondering if anyone has sent there sub in to get reconed? If so how long does it usually take to get it back

Ok so i dont know what to get. The one BTL 18 fully loaded that will be ran off of a SAZ-2000 Or a SAZ-3500. Or should i get the 2 BL fully loaded 18s ran off 2 SAZ-1500d.

For a while i have been pondering on whether to get a fully Loaded 15" Btl or 2 12" Q's I know that they are in very different (technology wise), but i have read alot on these forums that sometimes cone area can over come better machinery they are relatively the same price when it all comes down to it. They will be ran off of a AudioQue 2200D I just want opinions (not criticism) on which sub/subs you guys think will pound harder. I have a 03 trailblazer and i like lows Box will be ported and built accordingly

So i have had my btl for a while now and am very pleazed with it. I had a few questions though. 1) i currently have a saz 1500 d sundown to it and was wondering if i got a bigger amp (of course another sundown) if it would really be any difference. 2)what is the best way to tell the subsonic filter is set at because i think its around 34 hertz but i am conserned because of what i read about poorly set sub filters. thanks for the help

Hey just doing some window shopping looking for opitions for my amp hoping to ad Fi to my list I'm not looking to buy soon and I know alot can change in a company's line-up over a year but I treat car audio like my version of a fantiacy football league and I'll do builds in my head waiting to hit the lottery or my kids to graduate so I can have more toys... How I like my bass... Loud, Low, & Clean as posible I listen to just about everything but mostly rock and rap Car... not positive leaning toward a smaller hatchback like a honda civic or mini cooper, either way the space required for humans can be limited to the front seats and enough room for a suitca…

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. Been out of the car audio scene for quite awhile (i don't know what happened to elitecaraudio.com????). Anyway! My bro is looking around spending 180-220 per 15 (total of 2) and a decent amp (oh 200-300 maybe) I suggested the RE SE's or the FI SSD's and possibly a Soundstream or Orion amp? I am a fan of RE and if my memory serves me - Fi was started by a former worker of RE (steve?) Well thanks for your time and help!

Is it possible if I can call you or would you prefer for me to ask you on here as I have a rather set of questions and not just a few...
